The more you believe me, the more real it becomes.

Chapter 60 It’s too late to regret
With a "thud," Qian Dafu stood up in horror, and the arm that had been resting on the table, as the evil spirits wished, knocked down and extinguished the only light in the room.

"Who, who's playing tricks on me!"

In the darkness, Qian Dafu screamed hoarsely, trying to bolster his courage. However, his plump body, trembling like a leaf, had already revealed his inner terror.

The evil creatures were pleasantly surprised to find that as the miser became more and more timid, he became increasingly "delicious" in their eyes!
It seems that his spirit and courage were completely lost, and his yang energy also dissipated and collapsed.

No wonder people say ghosts and monsters love to scare people—not only are they very interesting to watch, but they also have real benefits!

How could we not do something so beautiful?

Thinking of this, eight sinister beings suddenly appeared under the eaves where it was pitch black.

This place should have been pitch black, so dark that even five fingers could not be distinguished.

But Qian Dafu could see it very clearly—a full eight blue-faced, fanged demons were floating right in front of him!

Horrible!
"Do you still think we're 'playing tricks' now? Ah—hahahaha!"

The shrill laughter of the evil spirits rose and fell, echoing endlessly under the dim eaves.

Only their fluttering, blue-faced figures stood out.

Qian Dafu shuddered violently, and a sudden heat surged in his crotch! His legs could no longer support his massive body, and he collapsed to the ground with a thud, as if his bones had been pulled out.

One evil spirit is a matter of life and death, but how come there are eight of them here!
The ghostly figures almost filled his room.

What sins has my Qian family committed to deserve this utter annihilation?! Qian Dafu cried out in his heart, tears of fear welling up in his eyes, but he couldn't even utter a sound.

As the eight blue-faced, fanged faces slowly approached with sinister smiles, they did not immediately pounce on him to tear him to pieces and devour him.

This gave Qian Dafu a glimmer of hope. He scrambled to his knees, kowtowing frantically towards the ghostly figures, and cried out urgently:
"Grandpa ghosts! Grandpa ghosts, spare my life! My Qian family is rich! We have mountains of gold and silver! I only beg you grandpas to have mercy and spare my life. I promise to build a grand temple for you grandpas and offer incense every day, praying that you grandpas will ascend to paradise soon!"

"Hahaha! Did you hear that? This miser said he'd build us a temple!" One of the evil creatures shrieked and laughed, which made the other evil creatures laugh along with it.

Now that they knew the more fear the other party felt, the more their yang energy would dissipate, making them easier to devour, greed instantly overwhelmed their urgent appetite.

Feeling the icy, chilling energy coursing through his skin, Qian Dafu trembled like a leaf in a storm, kowtowing even more frantically, his voice trembling with sobs and despair:
"Grandpas! I beg you! What do you want from me to let me go? I've always been well-behaved and have never offended you!"

The evil creatures suppressed their restless hunger and decided to play with this "delicious" food a little longer.

After all, it's not contradictory to pursue good food when you can eat your fill.

"do not you know?"

A sinister voice rang out.

"Know what?"

Qian Dafu was sweating profusely and looked up in fear.

Suddenly, everything blurred before his eyes, and a blue-faced, fanged demon abruptly appeared before him, grinning at him:
"You're the one who sent us!"

Qian Dafu was so terrified by this sudden turn of events that he fell backward!
"Bang!"

He knocked over tables and chairs, scrambling backward with his hands and feet, groaning in pain.
"Grandpa Ghost! How could I possibly invite you all here! There must be some misunderstanding!"

Seeing his terrified and disoriented state, the evil creatures became even more smug, and their mocking laughter filled the air:
"How could it not be? You miserly man have brought this upon yourself. It's bad enough that your Qian family has lost all integrity, but how dare you even forget your own ancestors?"

As they spoke, the evil spirits surveyed the immoral household with unbridled glee. The pent-up frustration and fear they had accumulated along the way finally found an outlet.

“We’ve searched this entire street, and the only person we’ve found is you, a disloyal, untrustworthy, and unfilial member of the Qian family! Tell me, who else should we look for if not you?”

"Tell me again, did you 'invite' us here?"

Qian Dafu hurriedly defended himself:
"Grandpas, please see the truth! Perhaps I am a bit greedy and stingy, or perhaps I really am unwilling to part with a single penny, but... but how can you say I'm unfilial! I have been taking good care of my parents!" "Only your parents? What about your ancestors?"

Qian Dafu's heart skipped a beat!
Oh no! It matches what Youcai said!
We've truly met a master, and it's also true that my Qian family made a mistake!
There's no escaping it, there's no escaping it tonight!
Seeing his face instantly fill with realization and extreme regret, the evil beings all burst into laughter, emitting piercing, high-pitched giggles.

"Realized now? Too bad—too late!"

The laughter abruptly ceased. The sinister smirks on all the evil creatures vanished instantly, replaced by ferocious, grotesque expressions! They bared their fangs and claws, radiating a chilling aura as they pounced on the limp Qian Dafu!

They knew that Qian Dafu was no longer frightened, and his yang energy had plummeted to its lowest point, making it the perfect time to feast on him!

"what--!"

Qian Dafu let out a heart-wrenching scream, frantically waving his fat hands in an instinctive attempt to push away the attacking grotesque creature.

However, his arm passed through the illusory bodies of the evil beings without any hindrance, while their icy, chilling claws tore through his clothes and flesh as easily as cutting tofu.

With a casual grab, several long, bloody welts appeared, tearing flesh from the skin, causing Qian Dafu to cry out in pain.

"Help, help!"

Qian Dafu cried out for help in despair, and just as he was about to be torn apart and eaten, a voice like that of a god descending to earth kicked open the tightly closed door and came out.

"Master, we've come to save you!"

Three or four guards, who had heard the commotion, rushed in, carrying torches and knives.

Upon discovering that there was indeed something unclean inside, the martial artists instinctively retreated.

But a moment later, the leading warrior shouted:

"The Taoist priest said that these evil things are afraid of fire!"

This person was none other than one of the people who had seen Du Yuan that day!

Du Yuan's words were naturally not forgotten.

Having said that, with unwavering faith in Du Yuan, the leading warrior immediately brandished his torch and charged forward, yelling.

They were no ordinary guards; they were private soldiers trained and supported by prominent families from childhood.

Normally, they would be afraid and timid if they saw ghosts, but now that the family was in trouble, and they had heard the Taoist priest talk about some methods to subdue evil spirits, they naturally dared to step forward and fight.

The already courageous warrior charged forward with a torch blazing with smoke.

The few insignificant evil spirits were immediately frightened and began to flee.

Whenever they are hit by the torch, they cry out and run away.

And so, the leading warrior managed to snatch the battered and bruised Qian Dafu from the encirclement of eight malevolent beings.

It watched as it tricked the most delicious piece of fatty meat and then ran away.

The several evil creatures were enraged and, following their instincts, began to lick their blood-stained fingers rapidly.

Having already been stained with the blood and flesh of living people, they could summon a sudden gust of yin wind with a mere wave of their hands.

A cold wind blew open the window and extinguished the torch.

Seeing the amulet go, the leading warrior's expression changed and he shouted:
"Oh no! Run! Yes, the front yard! Get to the front yard!"

In his panic, the martial artist suddenly remembered that his Qian family had a treasure that was absolutely useful.
